Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can improve treatment outcomes for people with opioid use disorder. Researchers will look at how stress affects drug cravings and decision-making. 32 adults on methadone or buprenorphine will receive either real or fake rTMS to see if it helps them stay off opioids and improve thinking skills.
